Cat
On mount Tai'Shan, China, on the long way to the peak, there was a lonely cat tied to a lonely bench.
It was very quiet there.

Time passing
The wall of the old out-door cinema from Mangalia, Romania.
In the windows is written "Today" and "In the future".

Norwegian Airlines and their wonderful customer service
Norwegian Airlines, cheap, scandinavic, pretty decent flights and inexistent customer support. I wanted to be more ironic, but I'm still pissed off and stunned about the way the treat their clients... in not a good way :)
I've flight with various airlines, including them. The experiences have been from decent to very good, but in general was pretty decent.
But about now... yesterday, due to strikes in France, they've cancelled a flight, which can happen of course. And than they did sent me an email and a text message regarding this... not :)). Or well .. maybe it was a thought or a malfunction in their PSP consoles they are using for customer supporting themselves during long cold winters while watching the polar bears play?!?! Nevertheless I did not get any warning so I found myself in the airport, which is not that bad, as loosing an annual conference in Information Architecture :), loosing my hotel bokking fee, loosing my train booking.. or to be brief, loosing a hell lot of money :) Which can make any person happy, happy.
Canceling a flight happens, but not sending a warning about shouldn't happen.
Now, comes the good part: they don't have offices in Copenhagen, they don't have an email address and they phones can be busy 24/24h. I'm trying not to think on the money spent on phones yesterday and today...
So, the only thing I can do is to warmly recommend to all the people I know EasyJet or other real airlines, not a ghost Norwegian scam, and yes they can.. there are scams also in Scandinavia. I just hope all of them are in Norwegian, so I don't meet another one.
Anyway.. Fly Norwegian, enjoy it, pay it.. and stay at home playing on the PSP :)

Berlin sailor
Behind the German Parliament there's a wall made of transparent glass with the most important articles of the Constitution. Article 6 is about family rights.

Romanian hip-hop poetry
Romanian hip-hop by Bean. The first time in many years that I really felt a new breeze in romanian hip-hop.

People of Beijing
The homeless - in the main (expensive) shopping street of beijing they are delighting themselves with the joys of capitalism and some fresh marrow
The master - he was just asking to be in the picture
The family - being in pictures with interesting things behind seems to be the national sport
The twins - in the fashion district
The shy girl - eating on the street is very tempting, but the next day you'll find out how good was the idee to do it
The angry landlord
The freshly married couple
The lonely girl - she moved away from her friends to enjoy another national sport
The player - the extremely popular chinese chess
The dark bride - from the fashion district

(x-treme) Biking in beijing
“There are nine million bicycles in Beijing / That's a fact” (Katie Melua)
Sounds pretty nice, isn’t it? But the truth is as tasty as appealing as juicy BigMac left for a day in the sun on the beach. Some time ago (when France and Italy were having football teams), Beijing was a bike city, but now, this is just a nice memory and a great subject for making nice t-shirts with panda’s on bikes. From the 9 mil, there probably left less than half, not to say less.
Now, the city belongs to cars, many cars, expensive cars, chinese, german, french, black, with dark windows, blinkysh logos and weird names (Wolkswagen Santana?!). The cars are slowly and sadly suffocating the city, the scarce parking lots and the pedestrian areas.
I’m trying not to be very pessimistic, but the future smells at smog and is quite gray. Biking is a courage and skill test, or the perfect way to get some adrenaline flowing in your veins.
My dormant reflexes (made in Bucharest) were required to cross the street as a pedestrian, as if you don’t have a car, you have no priority… in no situation :))
The bike lanes are generous and well protected (and a little deserted), but you get back to reality when a cab passes in a hurry next to you, or when the inevitable crossroads gets in front of you :) Still, the number of accidents is not as big as expected, as car drivers are careful, especially if they have an expensive car, and you are large enough ;)
“To cross the street you have to grow balls … inside a car, a big car. But, don’t forget that the police will always have bigger balls.”

My conclusion about biking (as a foreigner) in Beijing:“To cross the street you have to grow balls … inside a car, a big car. But, don’t forget that the police will always have bigger balls.”

The summer was here
The summer is here, or I should say.. it was, as for one day the blonde girl stopped in Copenhagen, taking from the basement the flip-flops and the lost shorts. And for one full day the sun made her hair glow on the green of grass, in which was hiding a perfect green Carlsberg.
The 18 C were warm and delightful for the CPH Carnaval, but most people didn’t see it as everybody was busy doing nothing in the sun. Today we’re back on the normal weather, but I don’t care, I saw her blue eyes in the sun, so I’m happy, fail/fail can be back now.
